How to fertilize European Spindle

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your European Spindle after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

The leaves are half dry I've had this plant for a year now, and for most of its time, it has been neglected for about 8 months and it was fine. Then when I started taking care of it, meaning changingbits pot, watering it once a week, etc it started to have this #euonymus #leaves #dry

Hey Greg friends, can anyone tell me what plant this is? I saw it on a walk, so I picked a stem and propagated it, then I planted it in soil and perlite. It's doing pretty well and growing but I have no clue what it could be.
